It's not so important in the main interface of MythTV, where you get button feedback in the form of menu options being highlighted or chosen (although I can think of a few times I've been kissing my girl on the couch while navigating the UI, and I didn't know if the remote was going anywhere because I could not hear it). <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> Audio feedback is a very basic element in any media UI.

Also note that it works for LIRC keypresses, not the ones on the keyboard. <BR><BR>The knoppmyth link led me to a thread with some pretty cool sounds, but they were a little obtrusive while browsing music.<BR><BR>I use the mediaportal software for myth-like functionality on my M$ Laptop.
